The secret to making bread in the instant pot

The yogurt button! It’s a function on your instant pot that you might not be sure how to use. In addition to great instant pot yogurt recipes, use it to make some of these fantastic breads. But don't worry if your instant pot doesn't have the yogurt button, several of these recipes will be made through plain old pressure cooking.

Whole wheat crunchy bread

Soft and chewy on the inside with a crispy crust on the outside, this vegan whole wheat instant pot bread recipe has all the right textures for the perfect bread. Use flax seeds and sunflower seeds to pack extra nutrition and parchment paper so you don’t need to do any dishes. (via Tidbits Marci)

Savory, gluten-free white bread

If you’re craving a more traditional, typical bread, then this tried and tested white bread recipe for the instant pot will be perfect for you. The original recipe uses regular flour, but you can make slight modifications using gluten-free flour and a little more baking soda. I bet you won’t be able to tell the difference between this instant pot gluten-free bread and the regular flour version. (via Hi Pressure Cooking)

No knead parmesan bread

Speaking of savory breads, this one's flavored with parmesan, oregano, and thyme. But really, you are free to season it however you like as long as you use four simple base ingredients for your bread: flour, bread, yeast, and warm water. (via What's Cookin' Chicago)

Rosemary & sea salt bread

If you love the complementary bread served at Italian restaurants as much as I do, then you’re going to want to try this recipe, inspired by the kind served at Macaroni Grill, flavored with rosemary and sea salt. (via Delish Knowledge)

Sourdough bread

Yogurt is what gives this recipe that nice sourdough flavor. This bread works great for sandwiches, toast, and even croutons. Feel free to add garlic or herbs to give the dough some extra flavor. (via Living Sweet Moments)

Apple bread with salted caramel icing

This recipe is perfect for the fall season or Thanksgiving. The aroma of apples, vanilla, and cinnamon won’t be as tortuous to wait for since your bread won’t take long to cook in your instant pot. (via Adventures of a Nurse)

Banana bread

This banana bread in pressure cooker recipe can be eaten for breakfast or as a dessert. You won’t need to add much sugar with the natural sweetness from your ripe bananas. (via That's What Che Said)

Cinnamon walnut sweet potato bread

If you want a paleo- and vegan-friendly bread, then this recipe, which is not overly sweet, would be right up your alley. Use almond flour, coconut flour, and tapioca flour as the base, along with almond milk and coconut oil to keep it healthy. (via Nurture My Gut)

Chocolate chip zucchini bread

Here’s another healthy, lower carb recipe to try. This sweeter bread is actually a cross between zucchini and banana bread. (via 365 Days of Crockpot)

Bonus! Bread pudding

Not technically a bread, but who's complaining? This rich, creamy dessert is perfect during the holidays. (via Simply Happy Foodie)

    When making the bread do I leave the insert pan in the instant pot or do I remove it

      Hi Bonnie,

      Glad you're enjoying the instant pot! Unfortunately, I do not have a bread cookbook, but you might be able to find some great instant pot recipe cookbooks on Amazon that you can access for free with a Kindle membership.

      Bonnie Fitzpatrick-Moore, I too had trouble getting the lid on. Make sure the vent is in the back & the arrows that say 'open, close' is in the front where the buttons are. Once you do that you'll never had trouble agan with your lid. Good Luck!

FAQs

What can I add to bread to make it more interesting? ›

'Any nuts, seeds, small or chopped dried fruits, olives, fresh thyme or rosemary can be added without changing the dough.

What makes no knead bread different from bread? ›

No-knead bread is a method of bread baking that uses a very long fermentation (rising) time instead of kneading to form the gluten strands that give the bread its texture. It is characterized by a low yeast content and a very wet dough.

Do you knead quick breads? ›

Quick breads definitely live up to their name. They're so quick and easy because they don't require yeast, kneading, or extra time to rise. Instead of yeast, they use leaveners like baking powder or baking soda to create the bubbles in the batter that makes the bread rise as it bakes.

What gives bread the best flavor? ›

Fat. If you're looking to ramp up the taste of your favorite bread recipe, we recommend adding a bit of fat. A fat like butter, olive oil or coconut oil in small quantities will help your bread achieve a higher rise and it will also boost its flavor by tenfold.

What makes the tastiest bread? ›

To determine whether bread is of good quality, there are several factors and characteristics you can identify. For example the crust must be crisp and of a darker tone than the inside, a strong flavour and taste due to the flour, as well as a pleasant smell. What's also important is that the conservation is longer.

What is the alternative to kneading bread? ›

To make the recipe with a mix-and-fold method, stir together the ingredients, then perform a bowl fold three to four times in the first hour. As you make those 10 to 12 strokes, working your way around the bowl, you'll feel the dough organizing itself, strengthening, and tightening.

What happens to bread if you don't knead it? ›

If you don't knead your dough, your baked bread won't rise as high, and the overall texture and appearance will be dense. Properly kneaded dough promises a softer, fluffier, taller, and chewier bread.

Does more kneading make better bread? ›

The point of kneading dough is to help strengthen the gluten in it. Gluten is what gives your bread; it's structure and texture. Gluten that is not strong enough results from under kneaded dough, whereas gluten that is too tight results from over kneaded dough.

What can you add to bread for extras? ›

You can also add herbs and seasonings such as garlic, rosemary, dill, chopped onion, jalapeño, shredded cheese, chopped nuts, dried cranberries, etc. My no yeast bread is the quick bread alternative here—you can add flavors to that loaf, too! Baker's Tip: Avoid adding too much flour to the dough as you work with it.

What can I add to my bread for flavor? ›

Butter and especially stronger oils, such as walnut, can also add flavor to bread. Dry milk powder adds flavor to bread and can soften its texture, as in the case of this basic white sourdough. Add it to dough with the flour.

How can I spice up my bread? ›
